His afterlife – the equally cryptic catamite – appears to be well and alive as late as Victorian England. But who was the cinaedus? Should we think of a real group of individuals, or is the term but a scare name to keep at bay any form of threating otherness? This book, the first coherent collection of essays on the topic, addresses the matter and fleshes out the complexity of a debate that concerns not only Roman cinaedi but the foundations of our theoretical approach to the study of ancient sexuality.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eList of Figures    Introduction: Searching for the Cinaedus in Classical Antiquity   Tommaso Gazzarri () and Jesse Weiner ()       1 κιναίδων βίος: Lifestyle, and Sensuality in Ancient Greek Thought   Giulia Sissa ()      2 Cleomachus: a Study in ‘Cinaedic’ Associations   Thomas Sapsford ()      3 Representing the Cinaedus in Roman Visual Culture: Seeing, Speaking, Touching   John R.
